Theorem (Diversity Coverage) + Proposition (Instability Propagation) + 3 Falsifiable Predictions. Extends receiver framework to collective systems C = R₁,. . . , Rₙ with explicit inter-receiver coupling W. The collective stability potential VC = sum V (Rᵢ, E) + kappaC * sum Wᵢj * V (Rᵢ, E) *V (Rⱼ, E). Theorem: environmental coverage is monotonically increasing in receiver diversity sigmaR, saturating at critical sigmaR*. Proposition: a receiver in overload increases effective entropy for adjacent receivers through behavioral noise injection; cascade conditions identified. Three Predictions about team composition matching, diversity outperformance in high-entropy environments, cascade thresholds. Applications: family dynamics, workplace teams, multi-agent reinforcement learning, educational settings. Three structural limitations documented (coupling matrix unspecified, coupling dynamics not modeled, receiver adaptation not modeled). Inherits from Paper 9.
